Skylanders Giants to Release in October

Skylanders Giants will be available from October 19 in the UK, and October 21 in the US.

The game will be released for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and 3DS on this date, but when we'll get our hands on the PC and Mac versions is still up in the air.

Skylanders Giants is set to introduce over 40 new collectible figures, so if you're planning on assembling a full roster it's probably best to start saving now. Though Spyro is noticeably absent from the game's title this time around, it's been confirmed he's still present as a playable character.

Activision recently revealed that the Skylanders franchise generated more revenue than any game property between January and April this year.

To celebrate the announcement, the company has revealed a new playable character called Swarm, who you can check out below.
